Besan Gatte
ki curry is the typical Rajsthani curry which is the most popular in Rajsthan
and nowadays its popular all over in India. It’s an integral part of Rajsthani
Thali. This curry is made with chickpea flour dumplings and the gravy is made
with yogurt.

This Curry
is the perfect in lunch and in dinner too. You can serve it with paratha or
simply with roti too. Thats a favorite curry at my place, specially its my
father’s favorite one.

He is not so in vegetables, he used to have this curry
and typical Rajthani items like daal baati, this besan gate ki sabzi, and daal
Bafla. This is a so delicious curry which you can serve on friend’s get
together party, or in any occasion.

For Now,
Being at my mother’s place, I am enjoying all my childhood memories and loads
of Mommies handmade food. I am surely going to gain weight, But at the same
time You cant avoid this much delicious food which is made by mother with lots
of love and blessings. I found myself so lucky to enjoy the each and every
moment when I am at home. Prisha is equally a lucky one to get all the love and
blessings from her grandparents. There are lots of things going on these days,
Hence I am off from social platforms nowadays, not using them so much. But
enjoying the rain in the city, The food is awesome, so many new restaurants and
